Default Re: got my first set of CRAGARS?

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: [email protected]</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I like the 670 or 640/15 nylon thumpers for the front. BF Goodrich Silvertowns or the firestones. </div></div>

i just spent some time researching these tires on sam's recomendation, the dims on these tires are almost the same as a moroso drag front, so will this tire give me that vintage drag look? It seems like it should, doies anyone have any pics of this tire on there car?

Looks good to me. 27&quot; seems to be good, middle of the range height.

I think the BF's or Stones should work fine Killa! Gotta remember nobody on the street bought racing fronts in those days. We went down to Sears, Penney's, Pep Boys etc. and bought the cheapest tire we could for our applications. Can't make this Day-2 thing a science just make it the best bang for the buck as we did 40 years ago.

I actually ordered the firestones on your suggestion Sam just waiting to get them from Cocker, I really think they will give me the look that I am shooting for.

yes, a little tall but if it steers on the rims you want to use, stay with them.
